Transformers: Whatever the new one is called

Looks totally not like my kind of thing (possibly because Transformers really didn't impact upon my childhood at all). The interesting thing was student J's response to it. J is from Hong Kong and she was so pleased to see her home town being destroyed on screen. I think it's because it's a sign that Hong Kong as a visual concept has sort of made an impact on international culture, because they wouldn't destroy say Berlin or Vienna because no-one would care.

Masters of the UniverseGuardians of the Galaxy With thanks to opera142 because they will insist of films having different names than the ones I give them.

Other than being a bit *yawn* over yet another man-child main character (and worrying that Gamora, possibly the hottest, deadliest green-skinned space babe yet to wander across our screens, is going to wind up with him after he's shown so much character growth to become almost a human being. [Yuck!]), this looks like fun. But that's because the idea of a racoon and a tree being harbingers of destruction appeals to me.

Maleficent

I'm sure this will be good and well-made. I have no interest in it.

How To Train Your Dragon 2

Which was the only film which everyone wanted to see after seeing the trailer. Which either bodes well for it, or badly for the others.

Thanks. It's called Guardians of the Galaxy over here too. I don't see why they can't just call it "the one with the racoon and the tree fighting things" which is it's real name in my head.
